"The Apocalypse" by Haley Ryan

No one thought it was more than a mountain, just a place for dare devils to climb to the highest point on earth. On June 23, 2013, we all learned differently. Some hikers had gone to climb the mountain. My dad was one of them. 5 days later they reached the top. What they saw was not the top of a mountain, it was a pit of boiling lava. Today is the day after the explosion that destroyed over half of the earth's population. This is my journal of life as one of the few people who survived.

Entry 1:

My family died in the explosion. My dog is all I have left. I cannot leave the house because the air is filled with ash. Any hope I have of finding another survivor has been dashed.

LAST MEETING/CELEBRATION

Thursday, Dec. 4 at 4 p.m. (Spokane Valley)

Virtual T.W.I.N.E.!

Unable to come to the monthly in-person meeting? Don't worry - you can still participate! Once or twice a month we'll post a writing prompt and invite you to send us your creative writing. Fiction, poetry, even original artwork or your own song lyrics are all welcome. Then we'll post it right here on the TWINE blog!

E-mail us at twine(dot)scld@gmail.com. You can either send us your work as an attachment or copy it directly into the body of the email. Please give us your first name and which SCLD library you visit the most -- we might expand TWINE to more physical locations if we know the interest is there!
